2. You need not lose control of your body.Situation- When you take one foot off the beam, your mind's “built-in response mechanism” takes control of your body.Your reaction - With only one foot on the beam, you lose your other leg's stabilizing influence on your mind's “built-in response mechanism” and, until you find a way to balance your weight over the beam, even the slightest movement changes your hip orientation.

Controlling your mind's “built-in response mechanism” - With the proper training, there's a way to use your off leg (your front leg) to keep your hips level and stop your mind's “built-in response mechanism” from taking control of your body.

3. Making a spontaneous throwing (re)actions.Situation - Place both feet on and perpendicular to a balance beam or line on the floor. Once you've done this, lift one foot and then, as a separate action, take a step.

Your reaction - As your foot lifts up and comes back on the beam (line), your mind's “built-in response mechanism” senses the subtle change to your hip elevations and demands you use your arms to get your hips back to level. In order to complete a throwing action, you'd have to bring your back arm forward and swivel your front foot on the beam.Using your mind's “built-in response mechanism” to make a throwing (re)action - When you lift your foot off the beam, instead of stepping forward, quickly move the same shoulder (the shoulder on the side of the front foot that's off the beam) away from the beam. Your mind's “built-in response mechanism”... 1. Senses your misaligned shoulders and, to realign your hips, moves your back hip forward. 2. As this is happening, to stop you from falling off the beam, your mind's “built-in response mechanism” places your front foot back on the beam. (It needs to be noted that your stride is a "reaction" to your front shoulder movement and not an "action".)

The collective baseball community wants you to believe you can treat your mind's “built-in response mechanism” reactions as if they were controllable actions... which they are not!!!Believing you can control any reaction in the middle of the cascading reactions created by your mind's “built-in response mechanism” is a complete waste of your time!!! The way your body works... your mind's “built-in response mechanism” takes control of your body out of your starting position. To experience sustainable fastball command, you forget about trying to control your uncontrollable reactions and begin using your mind's “built-in response mechanism” to manage and control of your reactions. Ask me to manage your mind's "built-in response mechanism".L.A. "Skip" Fast

Unless you have the stomach to embrace facts that directly
contradict what you hear, think and believe, you're wasting your time reading
any further.

Check this out!!!

Drew Westen, an Emory University
psychologist, and his colleagues proved that when you reject facts contrary to
your beliefs, your brain lights up like an addict when they get a fix.

Therefore ...

- Regardless
of the facts, you're programmed to believe what you believe.- The positive physical response you receive when you reject
contradictory facts builds upon your drive to reject any conflicting data???

To improve, you need to overcome the urge to reject facts contrary to your beliefs and begin focusing on how your body actually works.

When you make a throwing action without aiming at a target, your energy naturally flows from your lower body, up your core and into/out of your throwing hand.

As soon as someone places a target a few feet away, everything changes.

When you miss your target by an unacceptable distance, common sense has you thinking you can simply change your next outcome by changing your arm slot... but you CAN'T really control your throwing arm path?

How do you control your throwing arm path?

As soon as you realize you must abandon your “common sense approach” and begin managing the messages your mind’s “built-in response mechanism” sends to your brain will you gain complete control over...

Your throwing arm path,

Your next pitch release window and

Your ability to challenge every opponent to drive your next pitch.

Until you embrace the fact that your your “common sense approach” doesn't work, you'll continue to struggle with your command and, at the same time, you make yourself a Tommy John risk.

Throwing arm balance

makes sustainable fastball command a physical impossibility!

What the collective baseball community wants you to believe!It really isn't “what the collective baseball community wants you to believe”, it's more about the collective baseball community not addressing your hip orientation at the top of your front leg lift. When you complete your front leg lift with your hips off your target line and/or tilted, your mind's “built-in response mechanism” uses your throwing arm for balance.The throwing arm path you want your throwing arm to take conflicts with the throwing arm path your mind's “built-in response mechanism” wants your arm to take.No matter how hard you try, the common sense thought that you can control your throwing arm path can't overpower your mind's “built-in response mechanism”.
